Getting the title of each dita map to show up in output

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I did get it to do what I need to.

Saved each ditamap as a composite fm. 
Created normal Frame Book.
Pulled the composite fm sections into the Book.
Etc...as per normal FM book build/pdf generation.

Not sure if this is optimal, but it's working for me at the moment. I do
plan on looking into ditaFMx in the near future.

Thanks again.

Hi Steve...

I don't think that you can. It appears that this "build" process is
hard-coded by FM. If you're using DITA-FMx, which uses a special "Book" 
structure application to create the book from a map (from which you can
generate the PDF), you can modify the XSLT used to aggregate the map and
topic files into the output book, and you can set it up to include your map
title (not the default).
